RIP - Anne Francis

Anne Francis (aka "Honey West")
b. : 16 September 1930
d. : 02 January 2011
. Honey West was a "Man from U.N.C.L.E. wannabe" TV series, starring Anne Francis in the title role. It only lasted one season - 1965-66, because it was up against the fabuously popular "Gomer Pyle" series. Sheesh. What schlock we used to watch back then. . I liked the show - partly because it was very similar to another series, "Burke's Law", which starred Gene Barry. Indeed, the Honey West character debuted as a guest star on BL. . But let's face it, I was 15 years old at the time, and the Honey West character was one sexy lady. Plus she could kick a$$ and had a pet ocelot. How kewl is that?! . Rest In Peace, Anne Francis. 007 didn't hold a candle next to you.
